I just want a nice pillow. Any advice?

[ArseInTheCoOpWindow]

I’m so sick of the fuckers. They’re all shite.

Fancy posh quilted one was like sleeping on a bag of rocks after 5 months. Super posh memory foam one was like sleeping on a slab of bread.

Dd has has informed me she hates her goose feather ones (as do l) so I’m sort of stuck in a shit pillowgate situation.

Please recommend me a nice comfy pillow that doesn’t lose its shape and cause the pillowcase to twist round it. Is this rocket science?😭

I have a water pillow and have had for years. I could never seem to get comfy but I really love this pillow. It takes a bit of getting used to and I used to worry it’d leak etc but I’ve had it at for years and it never has. It’s a bit wobbly and you notice a bit of sloshing at first but it’s so comfy!

I rate bamboo pillows, I got them initially as I suffer night sweats but they are really comfy and hold shape/firmness.

I’m not sure a water pillow would be good for me. I bash my pillows round a lot, and would find sloshing noise very distracting.

I’ll look at bamboo ones.

I love my Panda memory foam pillow. Got it in December when we got a new bed. Took a few days to get used to it but wouldn’t be without it now! Pillow

The only thing with the panda pillow is that it’s slightly smaller than most pillow cases. I just fold the excess material under the pillow and works fine for me.

I think it was memory foam that made mine so slab like though. Line lying on a thick slice of bread.

Another Panda Pillow vote here, I love mine. It is the only pillow I’ve had that actually holds its shape and doesn’t collapse halfway through the night.

Premier Inn at home pillows are really comfy.

A wool filled one. Awesome.

I can only sleep well on foam pillows, but not memory foam, I got mine from Dunlopillo.

I've just been to Bensons and nearly bought a Tempur pillow. It was £100 but sooo comfy.

Following as I have the same problem. I've tried all diets including wool & panda as recommended by others. Still haven't found one to suit me. The trouble is that you need to try them first because it's such a personal thing. The wool room let you try pillows & return for a full refund if it doesn't suit (which is what I did.) The search continues.....

*sorts not diets!!!

Soak and Sleep feather pillow. Just washed one of mine after a nose bleed and it's as good as new - all floofy again. Very comfy.

I second Premier Inn at home pillowsI had 2 delivered yesterday and they are the most comfortable after spending a fortune trying to find the right pillows.I bought the firm ones..

Get yourself to dunelm where you can squish them all yourself and choose your preferred one 😊 it saved my life with pregnancy back/neck pain

I started a thread on here a while ago and was recommended a buckwheat pillow. The reviews were great, I was so excited but was so disappointed it's like sleeping on a sack of rice... the search continues🙄

I am watching with interest. I have been trying for the last year to find a new pillow. The memory foam one moulded into a slab, I can't stand fibre ones, I have a feather one atm but have to fold it in two as the tethers have settled. When I was a kid I had one that was filled with little cubes of sponge foam which I remember being comfy but cannot find one now only blinking chopped memory foam which went lumpy.

I have the Tempur cloud one and love it. After years of awful pillows, I've had this one about a year now and wouldn't be without it. It wasn't cheap, think I paid about £120 (it's the one with the cooling layer in too) but it's worth every penny.

I’m interested in the Premier Inn ones. I’m going to look for those.

Im really allergic to wool, so have to pass on those.

We also have wool pillows/duvet and I’m a fussy fucker. I take my pillow away with me.

Ah, just seen the wool allergy. Sorry.

Dunlopillo are the only ones to have, in my opinion! I take mine on (uk) holidays!! They have been rebranded as Relyon, I think but are the same. Pricey but last forever.

l went to Dunelm and squished all the pillows. That’s how l ended up with the memory foam slab of bread😣it was fine at first. Then sort of morphed into a slab like lump.
